A difference I wasn't aware of as a kid - hence why this 7yr old was a bit terrified (and very intrigued!) when I heard on the news that a force of heavily armed 'gorillas' had attacked government troops.
Someone else made a really good response/rebuttal to this video (albeit a bit inflammatory at times): https://inappropriate-behavior.com/actually-koko-could-talk/
The original video now has a pinned comment acknowledging it.
I think both sides make some good points, I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to say who is "right" here
There really needed to be a GloRilla question! Anyway, that was pretty easy since most of my educated guesses worked out, and I’m nowhere close to the top of my leaderboard even with a 9810.
And just edged you out with a 9927...that's never happened, heehee! Haven't hit the 9900+ club in months. Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall both presented at UCLA when I was in college (mid-70s). My kids played Donkey Kong incessantly. The Tamil Tigers was on some recent quiz....made me sad when I remembered that Dian Fossey was murdered...
Very nicely done Lizz, just saw that, you're top of my LB and likely to stay there since most of the other heavy hitters have already been!
I always get Fossey and Goodall mixed up, so I'm very glad the latter wasn't there as a decoy answer XD And omg I didn't know that at all, how horrible!
Fossey, Goodall and Birute Giraldas all were guided by Dr. Leakey in studying large primates. They were anthropologists but not all academically trained. I remember being enraptured with Goodall at her presentation, probably 1973 or 74, and Fossey maybe a year later. Margaret Mead was doing her work too on gender in societies, a lot on matriarchal ones.
Her murder was a bit of a mixed message. The gorillas were being inadvertently killed by Rwandan's trying to protect their meager livelihood of cattle/goats plus for meat. Fossey took a very aggressive stance, burning their houses, killing their cattle coming into the conservation area. Africa is a rough continent.
I think this is my fasters 9/10 ever.

12:52 oh hey, it's the monkey selfie news topic again. We really do repeat patterns.

Got caught out by a movie question again. At least sort of as it was a video game based on a movie.
With time bonus, your score is 9,892
You beat or equaled 99% of test takers
This is your 7th best score all-time
